A Choreographer’s Reference – Not a Step-by-Step Class

This isn’t instruction—it’s your dictionary of belly dance footwork.
Part of the Movement Catalog Series, Travel Steps is a comprehensive visual encyclopedia created by Autumn Ward, a New York City–based master instructor and choreographer. Designed for dancers, teachers, and choreographers, this resource dives deep into the often-overlooked foundation of great belly dance: traveling steps, weight shifts, and layered footwork—the invisible architecture that makes every turn, transition, and stage entrance look effortless.

Why this series is essential:
✅ True reference format: Organized like a dance dictionary—look up one move or watch all to see how steps evolve, layer, and transform
✅ Universal foundation: Covers the core vocabulary used across all belly dance styles—Oriental, Tribal, Cabaret, Folkloric, Fusion
✅ Style-specific styling: See how the same footwork shifts to express:
 • Modern Egyptian Oriental
 • Reda-style Theatrical Folkloric
 • American Cabaret & Turkish-American party style
 • Veil choreography
 • Lyrical & Tribal Fusion
✅ From basic to brilliant:
 • Start with “step” and “hold” timing units
 • Build to ball-changes, pivots, hops, leg extensions, and counter-twists
 • Layer in hipwork, isolations, and upper body accents—all grounded in strong belly dance technique

Ideal for:
• Choreographers seeking fresh movement material
• Advanced dancers refining transitions and stage presence
• Teachers building curriculum with authentic, structured vocabulary

For less than the cost of a single private lesson, you get lifetime access to a movement library that fuels endless creativity—no expiration, no limits.

Note: This is a reference resource, not a guided class. It’s designed to inspire, inform, and expand your dance vocabulary - not to replace foundational instruction.
